What is a bus shelter mockup?
A bus shelter mockup places finished portrait artwork in a shelter display panel. Virse uses your ad, shelter reference and lighting notes to create a static bus stop advertising preview for a campaign discussion.
Why use Virse for a shelter ad preview?
Keep the shelter in the picture so reviewers can judge the placement as a whole.
Street-level context
Include the street around it

Use lighting notes to request a daytime panel or a backlit evening treatment. Inspect reflections and the visible artwork as part of the review.

Frequently asked questions
Can I place my poster inside a bus shelter display?
Yes. Provide finished portrait artwork and a shelter photo or reference. Identify the intended panel in your notes.
Can I preview a backlit shelter advertisement?
Yes. Describe a lightbox appearance and the lighting around it. Review reflections, contrast and lettering in the result.
What shape should my ad artwork be?
Use portrait artwork that matches the display reference as closely as possible. Check for unwanted cropping and verify production dimensions separately with the media owner.
Is this a mockup of an ad on a bus?
No. This tool is for the display panel in a bus shelter. It does not cover artwork applied to the body of a bus.
Does the tool supply real shelter locations or media bookings?
No. It creates a visual preview. Confirm site availability, display dimensions and media purchasing separately.
When should I use the billboard mockup generator instead?
